@jervyfermin leave the other shocked/in coma, with the memories, clothes, perfumes, etc. N even then do it right. U have to understand y Alec Benjamin said "Could you find a way to let me down slowly? A little sympathy, I hope you can show me". Remember: relationship is a clockwork of gears.
People with childhood trauma tend to have fast and intense friendships relationships. Desperate for the love they didn’t get from a parent, they attach quickly— often missing red flags. Healing is about slowly building trust over surface intimacy.
Our personality is not something set in stone or hard-wired. Personality is created based on child environment and first attachments (relationships.) At any age, at any time, we can unlearn and evolve the traits that make us ourselves.
Our younger developmental parts (inner child) fears losing our autonomy or being in a helpless situation, so we attempt to assert our dominance to stay safe.
The issue is: these dynamics block authentic emotional connection
It's helpful to understand that power struggles are common when we felt helpless in childhood.
If we had parent figures who: shamed us, engaged in harsh punishment, emotionally abandoned us, invalidated our reality , etc. we attempt to gain power as adults
Red flags don’t feel like red flags, when they feel like home. We repeat our childhood dynamics because they feel most familiar— and what’s most familiar feels most comfortable to the subconscious mind.
